And the 4K team came 6th – not bad considering there were over 20 registered teams in the event.

High humidity with the threat of rain and those challenging hills did not worry the SFR squad as they made their way around South Maroubra. Matt W came in third place overall in the 4K after a challenging month of competition. Wayne M won his 4K age group and was surprised with his result. Jeannie and Priscilla both enjoyed the run with Jeannie doing her fastest time this season.

In the 8K Steven S did a great time with Dennis J – recovering from some minor surgery, managing a 5th place in his age group. Jim B ran hard to secure 1st place in his age group with Gerry G not far behind. Michael S ran well to bring the team home.

Well done everyone… trophies presented next week.

A remarkable effort by Matthew Webster who finished the competition with 3 gold medals (8K cross country, 5000m track, 1500m track) and one silver medal (800m track) in his age group. Fabulous results also from Jim Box, Robert Forrest, Kieron Blackmore, Dennis Johnson and Matthew Lynch. Dennis and the two Matthews combined with Alan Jones (from AE) to come sixth place in a hot contest in the 4X400

“We condemn the violent attacks against LGBT athletes and spectators during the OutGames taking place this week in Copenhagen, Denmark.
 
This week we are all Copenhageners and we stand in solidarity with OutGames organizers and the very gay-friendly people of Copenhagen against this kind of violence.
Our thoughts are with the runner injured by the explosive devices at the Track Stadium today and the people who were attacked on Sunday.
 
We are pleased to hear that all injuries have been minor and that runner will still likely be able to compete. We extend our full support to all the participants at the OutGames.
 
Copenhagen has a reputation as one of the most LGBT friendly places on earth. Even there, we are reminded that our community still faces those that would deny us our basic human rights, even the freedom to run in a track meet in safety. But we will not be discouraged; rather, we will run, swim, jump, throw, grapple, volley and perform at events like the Gay Games and OutGames, celebrating our right to love who we want.”

SYDNEY FRONTRUNNERS 8K team WIN Maroubra Fun run.

Maroubra – Sunday 14 October – It’s normally a hot day but surprise, surprise it stayed a cool 20C. The 8K runners geared up for the hills of Maroubra and tackled every step like sea eagles flying towards some tasty morsels. Lead by Matt W (29m 34s) the five members chased each other up and down the hills in order to retain the 8K trophy which the club has now won for many years. 1012 entrants took part in this – the biggest ever Maroubra Fun run! Congrats to all team members – Matt W, Brett O, Dennis J, Jim B & Chris DC. Zoe K was a scratching.

Following the run members enjoyed a quick but refreshing dip in the Pacific and a yummy brunch at a local restaurant with some Atheltics East members.

The 4K team comprised of Andrew K, Matt L, Jeannie S, Priscilla, Robert F, Tony F and Wayne M performed admirably but were beaten by a team whose average age was below 20!!! Well done runners and thanks to everyone who participated in this the final fun run of 2007.
